> It is an assymetric issue - the right radicalized far far more then left. And spend years demonozing anyone left of center, demonizing groups and now is actually sending thugs to be violent.

This is obviously untrue. The left have openly celebrated assassination attempts on Trump and even high-profile left-wing personalities openly share memeified calls for violence against him (see Comey sharing an 8647 meme). The left also openly celebrated terrorism against Tesla because they disagreed with budget cuts spearheaded by their CEO. The democrat VP nominee openly gloated about the impact of said terrorism on Tesla's stock price at a political rally. There is no analog to this on the right. Pretending otherwise is shameful.

> One is a name of political ideology.

The point, which you managed to miss, is that Nazism the most evil label which can be applied by the secular left, as there is nothing more evil in the secular pantheon that Nazism and Adolph Hitler.

> It is a name consistent with reality.

One guy made an arm motion that, if taken out of context and interpreted in the most hysterical and bad faith manner possible, could be interpreted as a Nazi salute, ergo you're justified in calling everyone to the right of Mitt Romney a Nazi? You are my case in point. I appreciate your assistance.
